Chapter 371 – Mythology Academy
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to have touched the game’s negative triggers. As soon as it seems that he did not come here for some sinister reason, Seong-il sighs in relief.
“It’s fortunate.”
“Really? If it was really about the apocalypse, it would have been creepy.”
‘…Actually, your world is coming to an end.’
Quietly swallowing gossip, Seong-il carefully examines the spirits.
“Hmm… But isn’t it too small for a ‘Herald of Ruin’? Elaine, if this friend is the ‘Herald of Ruin’ as you said, shouldn’t he be distracted by his size? He’s too small…?”
“Uh… Maybe it’s because of your magical power?”
“…Is it because of me?”
“Yes. Usually, when spirits descend into the material world, they usually use the contractor’s magical power. So, I wonder if they maintain their small bodies due to lack of magical power…?”
“Hmm…”
At Elaine’s words, Seong-il checks his physical condition. After calling the Shadow Spirit, I could feel that my energy had decreased slightly.
‘It’s been reduced…But it’s at a weak level?’
Because her logic didn’t make sense, her Seongil tried to explain her own magic situation to her.
“Uh… Um… Then I’m not sure why…”
“…”
“Yeah…Yes! There’s animology class in class! I’m taking a related class right now, let’s go together! Auditing the class shouldn’t be a problem!!”
“Well… Then. But why are you taking that class? There are no spirits.”
“…”
Elaine’s expression darkened rapidly. Seong-il feels that she has touched something she shouldn’t have touched.
“That’s… I want to summon a spirit…”
“Ah…”
I think for a reasonable reason. Considering that the vision itself, which she had accidentally acquired from her family, was a contract with a loyal summoned beast using the power of her lineage, it was a very natural thing for Elaine to attend the animology lecture.
‘I’m sorry…’
Seong-il unintentionally touched Elaine’s wrath. He smiles awkwardly and pats her on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry! If you continue your arcane training with me, sooner or later you’ll be able to command summons like me!”
“…Is that right?”
“Then!”
She puts on a relaxed expression as if her encouragement on her holy day had worked. The two talk for a while and then leave.
“…Hmm?”
A strange feeling when you return home. With frequent use, Seongil now realizes that the feeling is a piece of the devil’s diary.
‘Oh! Is it Ophelia?’
Ophelia has become addicted to color ball through terribly stimulating training. Because of this, Seong-il knew that she would contact him sooner or later, but when the call came much sooner than she expected, she smiled on her own.
“Let’s see…”
“…Is it really over?”
“…I think you’ve got quite a bit of body?”
A lot of meaning in a short sentence. Seong-il pretends to be ignorant and starts writing answers in his diary.
“Sure. Dear Miss Ophelia. Did you think I wouldn’t keep my promise?”
“…That’s not the case, I was wondering if the recorded video was really deleted.”
“Of course I deleted it. You must be familiar with the contract because you created it yourself. The oaths and magical powers attached to that contract mean that even the mightiest mage can’t survive without breaking them.”
『…』
The contents of the diary that are not written for a while. Even though he is not looking, Seong-il feels that Ophelia is in a state of mental conflict. So he decides to stop bullying her and throws her stone fastball.
“Let’s not waste each other’s useless time.”
“…Yes?”
She writes an answer as if she is embarrassed by the sudden reply of Seongil. She starts throwing stone fastballs at Ophelia.
『I already know that every night your pussy misses my trainer and spreads lewdly.』
『!!!』
“Don’t you want to play with me more? If you answer honestly, I will play with you while thoroughly protecting your ‘safety’ as before.』
『…』
A diary with no answers. When she seems to be in a mental conflict in a different sense, her Seong-il continues her writings with a unique sinister smile.
“Tomorrow. Do the same thing you did the first time in the place where we first met. If you do ‘that’, I will accept that you want to be my ‘sex slave’ forever.』
『…』
『If you don’t do ‘that’, or if you want to cheat, I won’t appear in front of you forever. Enough then.”
『…』
A diary with no answers. However, Seong-il knows that non-response is the surest expression of affirmation, so he quietly covers the diary and lies down on the bed.

“…Are you here?”
“Huh.”
Early in the morning, Seong-il and Elaine go to the annex to take an animology class. Unlike Elaine, who had a sleepy expression, he was in a very relaxed state mentally and physically, as he had made up for his lack of sleep in the inner plane.
‘Certainly, it’s very nice to make up for my lack of sleep at Pineapple House, and to attend classes only when I’m sober.’
If that wasn’t enough, Seong-il would immediately return to the Pineapple House to rest if he felt even slightly unwell. Because of this, he was able to maintain full condition in every class. Thanks to this, his concentration in class was at a level different from that of other students.
‘If you don’t understand the class, return to reality, extract your memories with 『Deus of Machina』 And review them while watching the recorded video… I live really hard.’
Seong-il is taking classes really hard in the world of misology out of a desire to become stronger. In fact, his serious attitude in class was well-reputed by professors. Of course, I don’t know.
“…You look really good every time I see you? I really feel like I’m going to die every time I listen to an early morning lecture…”
Elaine, who has no clue about Seong-il’s circumstances, expresses admiration for Seong-il while rubbing her sleepy eyes.
“Ah, if you, like me, achieve a great vision, this will happen.”
“Oh…!! Is that the effect of the vision?!”
‘Huh. If you fall in love with my sex balls and become a sex slave, then you can fill in the lack of sleep with me at Pineapple House.’
However, Seong-il skillfully turns her words around and expresses her affirmation to her, as she is naturally unable to reveal such a sinister intention.
“Yes. Because the body becomes stronger. As an additional effect, the mind becomes clearer.”
“Oh oh!!!”
In addition, she practiced her dual wielding technique with Lee Ah-hyun, and Seong-il recited her additional effects as she had heard from her.
There was sincerity in his words because he was telling the truth through her experience, and Elaine nodded her head with a bright expression.
“Okay! From now on, I will train hard… Oh…!!”
She remembered what ‘training’ was like. Elaine closes her mouth and steps forward to her holy day with a red face and leads her way.
‘It’s embarrassing to think of taking it off.’
To be precise, Elaine recalled Seongil’s sculpture-like nakedness she saw during training the previous day, but Seongil, who had no way to know about it, deduced it alone and quietly followed her.
“Good morning everyone!”
“Good morning! Professor Anahilan!!”
When a professor who seemed to be quite old appeared and greeted the students, the students greeted them like baby birds.
‘Oh… I remember! That professor. A half-elf or something?’
The appearance of a male professor who has aged gracefully. The elf’s unique blonde hair and thin body make him feel strangely attractive.
‘I must have made some women cry when I was young… No, I guess she still makes me cry.’
That time when I was criticizing the professor’s appearance. Professor Elf looks at Seong-il and asks him if he could feel Seong-il’s gaze watching him carefully.
“Hmm? You’re a first-time student?”
“Oh, I came to listen to the lecture today after receiving a recommendation from Miss Elaine Yvesse, who is next to me.”
“Huh… Is that so? What’s your name?”
“It’s Han Seong-il.”
“Ah! That genius that has been rumored lately!!”
“…”
As soon as the professor’s luck runs out, he sees countless stares directed at him. Seong-il still swallows the unfamiliar gaze and nods his head.
“I’m not a genius… But I’m working hard.”
Haha!! There’s a rumor among the professors, but if you’re too modest, it’s poison! Seongil-kun. Haha!!”
‘Fuck… So what? So, do you usually wear gold on your face? It’s not that someone does that… But a lot of people do it.’
Right now, my advisor, Aaron Bjornsen, as well as the seniors in the leadership team. Most of them were arrogant people in direct proportion to their talents. Seong-il feels his head hurt and just shuts his mouth.
“Anyway… I’m going to listen to the lecture all of a sudden, hmm… Are you dating Miss Yves Brose next to you?”
“Oh~~~”
As soon as the professor’s words were spoken, exclamations of exclamation flowed from all directions.
“Ah! We’re not like that, we’re just friends… Huh?”
Seongil looking sideways. Then he sees Elaine’s blushing face in his eyes.
‘No, hey… Why are you?’
Embarrassed by Elaine’s reaction, Seong-il quickly spits out an excuse to clear up this strange atmosphere.
“I came here purely out of curiosity about animism. Really.”
Haha! I see. Everyone starts like that, doesn’t it?”
Seong-il thinks of stabbing Professor Elf in the eye, who winks at him. But after desperately suppressing his desire, he decides to keep his mouth shut and ignore whatever he says.
“Anyway! Welcome to my class! And everyone! Today, I’m finally going to do my first summon, away from drawing magic circles.”
“Wow!!!”
As Professor Anahilan’s words fell, a cry flowed from the hall. They start to get excited about the fact that they are finally practicing because they have only learned boring theories for the past month.
“Dan! Before the practice, you should draw the ‘lower spirit summoning circle’ that I told you about before? Now! Assistants? Let’s go around and see how the students are drawing the magic circle!”
“Yes!!”
As soon as Professor Anahilan’s order is given, the three teaching assistants spread out in all directions in perfect order. Fortunately, since animology was close to a study that could not be learned without talent, the number of students was small, so a small number of assistants began to skillfully move around and control the field.
“Okay… While I’m drawing the magic circle, I’m going to introduce the concept to the new student and recite the concept again so you don’t make mistakes before practice!”
“…”
Students who do not respond to the professor’s cry. They were concentrating their whole minds on the magic circle.
“Okay! That’s the attitude! Be sure to concentrate when drawing the magic circle!! No matter what people around you shout, focus your whole mind on the magic circle!! Seongil-kun?”
“Yes…?”
Seong-il looks at him with a puzzled expression when he suddenly talks to him.
“The rest of the students are drawing magic circles… Can you talk to me?”
“Sure.”
“Okay! Let’s start reviewing and teaching now. Seongil-kun! Why do you think wizards and psychics value spirit summoning more highly than demons and angels?”
“Um…Because they’re relatively the fairest?”
“Oh! Exactly!”
‘…I’ve already heard from Elaine.’
However, Professor Anahilan, who has no clue about the situation, praises him with an admiring expression.
“As expected, it’s just as rumored!!”
“…”
Seong-il looks at Elaine next to her in embarrassment. However, as Elaine was concentrating on drawing the magic circle, she did not respond.
“As Seongil-gun said here, the reason why spirits are more popular as summons than other beings is because of their fairness. So if you can make a proper spirit contract with the spirits, you will have one of your most trustworthy companions. You can get it!”
“Excuse me…”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“I’ve been curious about it for a long time… Why do wizards use elemental summoning spells?
“Haha! That’s a good question. The answer is simple. Spirits generally don’t like humans.”
“…”
“A contract with the spirits is really difficult. No matter how elaborate we draw a summoning circle and invite them to make a fair contract, it means nothing if the spirit refuses.”
“Ohh…”
“So, as a second best solution, I use magic to control the mind by forcibly forcing the spirit to descend into the material world.”
“Hmm…”
“Of course, in this case, it’s very dangerous, right? If the mind control fails unluckily, the spirit will flip its eyes and try to kill the caster.”
‘Only bloody.’
A terrifying explanation to hear.
“Actually, it’s natural. Conversely, if we’re forcibly summoned to another world, and someone tries to control us, can you like that existence?”
“No.”
“That’s right. So summoning spells are very risky spells. But, if you succeed, you can use your faithful summons for free. Besides, you don’t have to pay magic in this case. It’s a kind of exploitation.”
“Aha…”
“However, summoning spirits through a summoning circle is different. The summoning circle itself is a kind of elaborate labor contract. “
“Oh… So you’re going to sign a contract with that?”
“No! If you’ve seen your resume, why don’t you have an interview next time? If you’re denied a face-to-face interview, your contract is void.”
“…”
